[Volunteers_fosm] FOSM Trail Session for May 30, 2019

[Bob Galloway via Volunteers_fosm]

Here we go again. *Please NOTE new start time of 0800!*

*PROJECT DETAILS:*
The Friends of the Sandia Mountains (FOSM) will continue work on the
Cienega-Armijo
Trail Improvement Project (CATIP) for the Sandia Ranger District. We will
hike up Armijo Trail #222 to extend the reroute of a user trail (TC24). Tasks
will include completing some trail reroutes and obliterating the bypassed
sections.

We will be accessing the work site from a location with very limited
parking. The hike in is around 1.5 miles. Because we need to carpool to the
extent possible, I do not recommend hiking out before we end the work
session.

*PLEASE RSVP:*
So we can plan for tools, hard hats, and transportation, *please let me
know by email or text* 1)* IF *you plan to participate, 2)* IF *you will
need a hard hat*, *and 3)* IF *you have any questions (and please do not
"reply all").

*START TIME:  *
Meet at the FOSM shed behind the Sandia Ranger District (SRD) on
*Thursday 5/30/19 **ready to go* at *0800*. Bring your lunch, snacks,
liquids, and sunscreen. Dress in layers to accommodate varying
temperatures. We will work until around 1330.

*REQUIRED ATTIRE: *
The standard USFS trail work PPE requirements apply: *approved hard hat,
eye protection, no open-toed shoes, work gloves, and pants* (no shorts), no
exceptions. A hard hat can be provided if needed. *NOTE: *short-sleeved
shirts are fine but brushing, *including trail obliteration,* requires *long
sleeves*.

*Weather and trail conditions can change quickly. Please watch for last
minute project updates or cancellation. *

Thanks. And I can amend this distribution list as desired.
